While the broader region offers these and other rainforest-based adventures, the top three attractions in urban Belém are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Marcos Antônio Gonçalves Bastos, known by a childhood nickname, Medici, has documented the local cuisine on his Instagram account. He compares Belemenses to Italians in how they care for and protect local tradition. Real tacacá is cloudy yellow because its base is tucupi, perhaps the region’s most defining and addictive flavor, created centuries ago by Indigenous groups. The result is not so much sweet and sour as sour and sweet, and it pairs magically well with rice and fish, and stars in the local duck dish, “pato no tucupi.”

Airbnb is facing crackdowns around the world as cities say it is making housing shortages worse. AdvertisementAdvertisementAirbnb could move away from short-term getaways in favor of offering rentals for an entire year, the company's CEO has said. Brian Chesky described offering year-long rentals as a "huge opportunity" for Airbnb in an interview with the Financial Times. He suggested Airbnb could start hosting dining pop-ups, and that car rentals would be "the next thing" for the company to tackle. The move towards encouraging longer rentals is likely to face opposition from the growing list of major cities cracking down on Airbnb amid fears the platform is exacerbating housing shortages and pushing up rents.

A chauvinist act, by a president who is already plagued by corruption scandals and sexism,” he told CNN on Thursday. But when that didn’t assuage public anger, he doubled down in a widely-broadcast Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) meeting and defiantly refused to resign, to the applause of the mostly male audience. The uproar over the kiss, he told CNN, is just the beginning of a longer fight. “I was not surprised by that at all,” Juan Rubiales told El Mundo of the kiss. The person some of us knew privately but now the whole world can actually see him,” she told CNN.

One listing quickly became two, then a full-fledged property management business, called Be Still Getaways, in 2020. This year, Be Still Getaways is on track to bring in $3 million, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.

Here's how Inlow scaled her company, and how she plans to build in more work-life balance as the business grows.

And a recent AAA survey found that 52 percent of Americans say that compared with before the pandemic, they’re as likely or more likely to consider taking a cruise this year. Which brings us to the other thing that makes American cruises singular: More is always more. My family’s home for four days was once one of the largest passenger ships ever built, some 900 feet long and displacing more than 100,000 tons. While cruises themselves follow the same formula as always, parachuting hedonistic day-trippers into tourist-friendly ports, the post-Covid clientele has changed. Before Covid, the numbers were fairly even, but evidently the blue-state crowd is having a tougher time putting the Diamond Princess out of mind.

When Taylor Swift's Eras tour rolls into Singapore next year, Rjay Ignacio said he'll be there — whether he has a ticket or not. "If I'm not able to get a ticket, I'm still going to Singapore," he said. He said he would only travel "for Taylor … I'm a big fan." Swifties, or Taylor Swift fans, spend an average of $1,330 on tickets, food and travel, according to the research company QuestionPro. To avoid facing an "astronomical price surge," Jakarta resident Wid said one of his friends booked a hotel in Singapore before Swift's tour tickets even went on sale.

Jamie Inlow started out with an idea, no business or real estate experience, and a $2,000 gift from her neighbor. By 2021, Inlow and one full-time staffer managed 30 listings, bringing in $205,000 in revenue. Much of that money went toward maintenance, repairs and adding properties to Be Still Getaways' portfolio. It brought in $2.28 million in revenue last year on Airbnb and rental platform Eviivo, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. There's a huge need for short-term rental property managers, so if you want to do it, do it.

The company brought in $2.28 million last year on Airbnb and rental platform Eviivo, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. She paid a company to help her create hashtags and build her online presence — all for a single Airbnb property. She asked Randall to promote the Airbnb listing on her "Stays and Getaways" page, in exchange for a free stay. When a former middle school classmate reached out asking for Airbnb advice, Inlow said she'd redesign and run the property herself for $10,000. That fall, Inlow purchased another property management company, Cape Charles Escapes, to expand her rental portfolio to Virginia's coast.

Emergency crews responded just before midnight to reports about a bus rolling over at a roundabout near the town of Greta, which is located in the wine growing Hunter region, New South Wales Police Force said in a statement. “The driver of the bus – a 58-year-old man – was taken to hospital under police guard for mandatory testing and assessment,” they said. “All Australians waking up to tragic news from the Hunter send our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of those killed in this horrific bus tragedy.

Joanna and Brian Linton live in Philadelphia and wanted a break from city life during the pandemic. They sought out a cabin in the mountains for quick getaways, but decided to buy a motel on a whim. It cost five times more than they expected to renovate it, even though they did most of the work. The married couple wanted to buy a cabin in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, where they could stretch their legs and breathe in fresh air. In August 2020, the couple and their kids piled into the car and made the roughly two-and-a-half hour drive upstate to scout properties.
